Baku: members of criminal financial pyramid appeared before court

In the Baku Court of Crimea, a preparatory meeting was held in the criminal case of Gabil Badalov, the head of Crowd-1, as well as members of the criminal financial pyramid Amin Huseynov, Alovsat Mazandarov, Sabakhira Farzaliev, Yasina Amirly and the Dunyamalieva Geyk accused of creating a financial pyramid and embezzlement Money from citizens.

According to haqqin.az, during the trial, the questionnaire data were clarified. The court was appointed on May 11.

Note that as a result of operations carried out by employees of the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime in November last year, CROWD-1 fraud performers were distributed in the country. As part of the organization of the international fraudulent pyramid against Gabil Badalov and another 5 people, operational and technical measures were carried out, evidence of the criminal activity of the group was collected. Badalov and other members of the criminal group Amin Huseynov, Alovsat Mazandarov, Sabahir Farzaliev, Yasin Amirly and Geyk Dunyamaliev were soon detained and taken to the Main Directorate, where in their initial indications they recognized that “CrWD-1” is a financial pyramid. During the audit of their offices in Baku and Ganja, electronic evidence was discovered and seized related to the case.

During the investigation, it turned out that the criminals managed to attract a large number of citizens into a fraudulent scheme. The gang members abused the confidence of citizens, convincing them that they invested in an international company and will make high profits. Pyramid participants were promised in advance discounts on platforms associated with game, educational, tourist and other directions, as well as a monthly income for each “Crowd-1”.

It turned out that not one of the platforms offered by a fraudulent network works. Also, despite the fact that the income promised to citizens from the money paid to the CROWD-1 network is reflected in the accounts of users inside the network, it is impossible to cash out this money or transfer it to bank cards. Crowd-1 offered the victims of payment packages from 99 to 2499 euros.

The Investigative Department of the Main Directorate for the Combating of Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a criminal case under the relevant article of the Criminal Code. The head of the gang Gabil Badalov and another 5 people were involved in the investigation. By a court decision, gang members are detained.

34 people became victims of a fraudulent pyramid.
